Adding Extra Internet Points

Boost Your Internet Speed: Why Adding Extra Internet Points at Home Makes a Big Difference

If you’re constantly battling slow WiFi, buffering on your smart TV, or poor video call quality while working from home you’re not alone. At A.M Electrics Devon Ltd, we’ve seen a sharp rise in requests for additional internet points in homes across Newton Abbot,
Exeter, Torquay, and Paignton. And for a good reason.

WiFi simply can’t keep up with the demands of modern homes especially when you’ve got kids streaming, working from home in separate rooms, or smart tech in nearly every corner of the house. That’s where hardwired data points come in.

What Are Internet Points?

Internet points (also known as Ethernet sockets) allow you to hardwire a direct connection from your router to the device you’re using or its a PC, gaming console, smart TV, or office laptop. They offer faster speeds, more stability, and reduce the risk of your signal dropping out when you need it most.

Why Customers Are Choosing to Install Additional Data Points 

We’ve recently helped customers in places like Heathfield, Exminster and Teignmouth who were experiencing slow or patchy WiFi due to:

Home offices being too far from the router

  • Converted garages or garden rooms with poor signal
  • Children using tablets and consoles at the same time
  • Video calls constantly freezing during remote work
  • WiFi boosters not solving the issue long term

One customer in Paignton had just refurbished their spare bedroom into an office, but their WiFi kept cutting out during Zoom meetings. We installed a discreet Cat6 internet point directly into the wall, ran the cable neatly through the loft, and connected it back to the router. The result? Crystal clear calls, stable speeds, and a much happier working day.

Another client in Exeter wanted to stream 4K films in their home cinema room. We installed two hardwired Ethernet points and a small switch unit to give them a rock-solid connection with no buffering.

Why Hardwired Points Are Better Than Boosters

WiFi boosters may seem like a quick fix, but they still rely on the original signal – which can be weak or unstable in larger homes. A hardwired Ethernet connection is always more reliable, especially when everyone is online at the same time.

For families, gamers, home workers and even Airbnb owners, adding extra internet points gives you better performance, more control, and peace of mind.

How We Install Internet Points

At A.M Electrics Devon Ltd, we make sure the installation is neat, tidy, and tailored to your home. We’ll:

  • Plan the best route from your router to your chosen room
  • Use high-quality Cat6 or Cat7 cabling for long-lasting performance
  • Fit flush, professionally installed data sockets
  • Test the connection to ensure top speeds
  • Offer advice on network switches or mesh systems if you need multiple points Whether you’re in Ashburton, Newton Abbot, Totnes, or surrounding areas, we’re ready to help.

Future-Proof Your Property

As more of your home becomes connected – from TVs and thermostats to smart doorbells and heating controls – having extra internet points future-proofs your property for the demands of modern tech. It also adds value, especially if you’re renovating or planning to rent your home or Airbnb.

Need Better Internet at Home?

If you're struggling with unreliable WiFi or want a proper connection in your home office or entertainment space, we can help. We’ve worked in dozens of properties across Devon from small terrace homes to large family houses and always deliver clean, fast, and friendly service.
